Stitch It

real or faux, you can even use stitched dies
We are showcasing We R Memory Keepers Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have them we would love to see them used.

Ok this looked so much better in my head, still love my Oxides Trees I used the Simon says Stamp Christmas Trees dies and various green Oxides. I'm pretty lazy so I stamped the inkpad on a craft sheet and misted and splatter my paper in the colours. When I was happy I left them to dry and any white places I blended some more oxides on the patches.

I also used the Evergreen Circle and the Stitched Squares from Simon Says Stamp but I also cute the Everegreen Circle on a piece of oxide out of the oxide paper I had made and carefully trimmed off the trees.

I finally used We R Memory Keepers Fuseable paper if I had know my camera would make the white even more creamy I perhaps would have used a cream card instead of white but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Rather than waste the Snowflake I used the Mod Rectangle die and then used an old cuttlebug snow falling folder, here's a couple that are available today. A piece of silver twine to make a bit of interest.

There was enough pattern paper to make my Memory Box Mittens other makes are available. I also used the embossing folder and the My Favourite Things scallop border die with some glitter card. I have to confess to make really quick sentiments I used some very old peel offs they are Woodware Francoise Read tiny ones.

I finally got round to photo the card that I've used one of Mo's new images this one is called Got the Wreath. At the time of colouring I had packed my Christmas paper ready for the crop so I had to use non Christmassy paper but I don't think it turned out too bad.

The decorative circles are Spellbinders and you can just make out the teeny scallop border down one side which I think is a MFT die.

My Martha Stewart Holly punch is still holding on but its now hating certain types of papers. The tiny gems is from a chap on e bay that I buy in bulk but this was a bit of try out because they are 2mm which you can see are really tiny but work a treat on the wreath.

I've been away to visit Hubby's brother but the journey seems to have set thing off in neck and shoulders so I've had to rest, haven't even been able to crochet but seem to be on the mend now and managed a few rows.

I'm so bad I still haven't photo a couple of Scrapbook layouts and finish the one that needs journalling. I've had a couple busy weeks and still have one more busy one and then I can chill for a while before Christmas.

So a bit of a crochet update and now have three projects, for someone who likes to do one at time this is working well for me. Another set of Squares done for my Poldark afghan. I did think I still had two styles to do but in fact I have only one. I hoping to make them on the long journey thats planned soon.

Here's another project going slowly, it will be eventually a Beach Hut Draught excluder for my daughter's flat. The problem is I need to make ten at least, they are very simple so don't hold my attention for long. I'm also not keen on my roofs although the second one is better than the first.

Meanwhile my Thursday night Lost in Time Shawl is coming along slowly. Every now again if my edge isn't finishing nice I unpick and work it till it is. I have another ball of Scheepjes Whirl but I've decided I may use a different pattern, not because I don't love the pattern but I think I need a break and I may do it again in normal 4ply.
